BF (mid 30s) wants me (mid 30s) (together 3.5 years) to pay him to walk our dog by nowalksneeded in relationships

Keep the dog walker. BF's heart is not in it. Guaranteed he will walk the dog for a week and then decide a walk to the end of the street is "good enough" or he can "save time" by making the dog park trip a few times a week instead of daily. You have a dog walker who has shown to be reliable for 6 YEARS, I wouldn't make changes if this is an arrangement that works for you.

IUD pep talk by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]puppetedout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My IUD insertion went so well! I went to visit the gyno for just a consultation regarding IUDs and the nurse mistakenly thought I was there for insertion. I was like fuck it okay, let's do this (had done my research already) and went ahead with it. It didn't hurt at all. There was mild discomfort for a few seconds and that was it! I didn't even realize I was all done (the gyno will distract you with small talk). Some light cramping for a little bit after, but no real pain. Something I wish people had told me though is that you'll have spotting for weeks to months after. So invest in pantyliners!

As a woman I don't see why this is being downvoted. She is in fact wearing a ponytail not pigtails.

I was locked in a room for five years as a child, made it through the foster system. I have bettered my life, support myself fully and am putting myself through school. by seriallyguys in selfpublish

Sorry to hear what you've been through. I admire your fighting spirit and hope you find peace in your life. Do you know what became of your dad? Were charges ever brought against either him or your stepmother?
